Adrift in Valpozuela

For two days I walked around Valparaiso (Chile) , like a adrift and had conversations from migrant to migrant with 34 Venezuelan.

For two days I walked around Valparaiso, like a adrift and had conversations

from migrant to migrant with 34 Venezuelan men and women -because this place "is mined by Venezuelans”-, who were guiding me to the next meeting, while doing their work days.

The time of the migrant, of the one who suffers uprooting, it's another, you breathe differently.

Leaving, looking for a future in several countries, starting from scratch over and over again, helping their families, work whatever comes your way, work hard, have a cousin or a friend help you, bring your family, always think about coming back, or never coming back...

The history of Latin America is cyclical, now it was Venezuela's turn, the same as at other times countries like Colombia, Peru, even Chile suffered.
